If he doesn't know the opinion by now he never will.

he should have known by the 2007 Robotech.com poll where only 6% of fans wanted Manga sized that Fans really Wanted full sized books....

Now what I found interesting was that he did mention once the Macross and Masters first printing is done, he can re-release it as a Full sized book.
I think I would rather have him release it as a Manga, with a very limited run. Then re-release all 4 books as a full sized compilation book.

This has been “work your tail off” week.
Our mission: To get The Rifter® #56, Robotech® New Generation™ Sourcebook, Rifts® Lemuria, Rifts® Vampires sourcebook and an updated 2011 Catalog all out by October. Heck, I’m hoping to have a Dead Reign™ Sourcebook out by October or November as well. After that, we’re hoping Rifts® Megaverse in Flames™, Rifts® Chaos Earth™: First Responders Sourcebook and another Robotech® Sourcebook will end the year (November and December) with a high note. Or so we are shooting for.

Snip....Now what I found interesting was that he did mention once the Macross and Masters first printing is done, he can re-release it as a Full sized book.

Not a fan of Franken-mecha either, but its easy enough to ignore if you don't want to use.
I hope they do reprint the Invid information, as I want all my New Generation era info in one book.
I liked the mecha from Malcontent Uprising (I miss Robotech comics)
I don't think anyone considers Clone or Mordecai an actual part of Robotech in ANY universe lol. It was just bad.
call them stingers!!!
UPDATE: Robotech® New Generation™ Sourcebook. The book is completely written, 90% has gone through final editing, and half of the text has been sent to Harmony Gold this week for approval. The rest will follow immediately after the Labor Day holiday. As soon as we get approvals, I will assign the artwork. If approvals by Harmony Gold are quick, the book should hit its October release date without difficulty. On a personal level, I love this book. Apollo’s cover rocks and I feel Irvin Jackson was spot-on capturing the feel and excitement of Robotech® New Generation™. Hopefully, the folks at Harmony Gold agree.
NO more manga size. We’ve decided to stop doing manga-sized Robotech® books. Starting with the Robotech® New Generation™ Sourcebook, all future Robotech® supplements will be our usual 8½ x 11 size and format. If and when we sell out of the existing manga-sized books, we will reprint them in the larger, standard format. The manga size was a noble experiment, but the overwhelming majority of gamers (75%) have pleaded for our return to the standard size. Well, we’ve heard your pleas and that’s what we’re doing. Let the rejoicing begin.

WoooHoooo
So, now the question is, will the full-sized books be hard of soft cover?.......i really like the hard cover TSC book
BTW, why didn't they do this in the first place........could have saved a hassle

October is a BIG release month with 3-4 new book releases: Wow, October is shaping up to be a super-month for Palladium. The following books are all scheduled for October release:
The Rifter® #56 – in final production.
Rifts® Lemuria – in final production.
Robotech® New Generation™ Sourcebook – in final production.
And probably Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook.

You and me both Mike, you and me both. The changes that have been made during the Yune reign to me have made little sense other than for Tommy to say "I did this, this was my idea"
By Kevin SiembiedaUPDATE: Robotech® New Generation Sourcebook. My editing and writing for Robotech® New Generation™ is done. Wayne is doing his edit of the final quarter of the book. The rest has been submitted to Harmony Gold for review and approval. I have assigned some of the artwork and will be assigning more. I love this book and hope final approval from Harmony Gold is quick and easy. An October release is looking solid.
